Can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs
This week on the Electronic Wireless Show PC gaming podcast we’re talking about the best our favourite noble failures, like the time I tried to make feta and red onion breakfast muffins. Ne’er touch the muffin pan since. No, of course it’s our favourite video games that made big swings but didn’t quite hit, a Nate Crowley-backed themed - and he kicks us off with a bid discussion about the infamousJurassic Parktie-in game Trespasser. Try spelling “jurassic” properly first time; I’ve never been able too.
Diversions this week are discussing classic UK subterranean tourist attractions Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge, and how Matthew’s life could have been different if only he’d been Wookey Hole’s witch mascot. Nate has bought a model kit for one of those massive excavation machines, which he says is “about as big as an Alsatian” and “basically a bin-bag full of girders”. So he is turning it into an Orc sewage treatment plant. Standard week to be honest.

The Councilwalked so thatVampire: The Masquerade - Swansongcould also walk but better.
Vampyris the worst vampire game to ever have a really fucking brilliant take on blood as levelling up resource. It was really nearly great!
Similarly, the “no quest markers” idea inThe Sinking Citywas a really great idea that didn’t land in practise, when you were basically just doing manual Google maps.
We also discuss ifSporeis a noble failure. Answer: maybe??
Eel daddy is filling a pit under his house with eels.
